Development and Biological Characterization of Cancer Biomimetic Membrane Nanovesicles for Enhancing Therapy Efficacy in Human Glioblastoma Cells.

As nanocarriers of a new generation, biomimetic nanovesicles are an emerging class of therapeutic tools whose surface is integrated or fabricated with biomaterials capable of mimicking the biological features and functions of native cells. Thanks to this, biomimetic nanovesicles, in particular, those made by plasma membrane moieties, possess greatly improved biocompatibility, high target specificity, a long retention time, and minimal undesired immune responses. For these reasons, a multitude of progenitor cells including cancer ones were employed as templates to generate biomimetic or membrane-camouflaged nanovesicles hosting different therapeutic compounds.
